Vote to ratify 62RZ14, "Broosking Swing Mitigation Amendment (Reconsideration)", providing for the maximum number of seats that can be assigned to new citizens between general elections to be lowered from 7.5% to 4.5% of the seats apportioned between parties, rounded down to a whole number of seats.
With the current 200 seat Cosă, this results in a maximum of 9 extra seats, rather than 15, to be available to new citizens. With the 20 seat Cosă that resulted from passage of 62RZ11, the "Pseudo-Real Cosă Act", and that will enter into effect (unless repealed) from the first general election after February 2027, this would result in no seats being available to new citizens, rather than 1.

| URL | Üc / Yes | Vote PER. This is a sensible, democratic reform which prevents new, unelected citizens overwhelming elected representatives in the Cosa. |
| PROG | Üc / Yes | With the size of the Cosa reduced to only 20 seats, it would be far too chaotic to continue giving seats to new citizens as in recent years. The Progressive Alliance wants to leave that possibility open for a later day, but only if we return to a larger Cosa. |
